We like Arizona in this spot. Columbus has been playing good hockey lately but, they’ve been doing that at home. They’ve struggled so far this season on the road against Western Conference opponents going 1-3 so far this season. Columbus still has some issues with injuries having six Forwards still out indefinitely. 69% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Blue Jackets tonight. However, we have seen the line stay very close to where it opened. Therefore, “sharp” money may very well be on the Coyotes tonight. Best of Luck!!!

Montreal has been flying up and down the east coast of America and winning games. However, that comes at a cost and with 82% of all Off-Shore bettors siding with the Canadiens. We have decided to go with the Devils tonight. Underdog playing at home against a team that hasn’t been home in a week. Not to mention the odds have pulled 82% off all Off-Shore bettors to already wager on the Canadiens. Don’t fall into the trap guys. Best of luck!!!

Because of the unknowns of playing outdoors their really isn’t any need for a big write up here. Consider this before picking this game that it may be pushed back to later in the day due to the weather. The sun glaring off the ice could be very dangerous for the players and of course melt the ice. With all of the unknown’s I feel as if Chicago is just the better hockey team and will be able to overcome whatever problem lies ahead of them. It’s meant to be a fun event so don’t go wagering a huge amount of this pick. Throw a little money down and have fun with it. Best of luck!!!

Both teams have been very inconsistent, and they enter with the same number of points while standing 12th in their respective conferences. The Avalanche (13-15-8) and Flyers (14-16-6) both went into the Christmas break having won three straight but have returned with back-to-back losses. When you look at the stats and numbers these teams are very similar. However, Colorado is averaging 26.2 shots in December, sixth-worst in the NHL, after matching a season low with 16 on Monday. The betting public is showing 52% of all Off-Shore bettors siding with the Avalanche tonight. However, we’ve seen the Flyers line move from 2.15 to 2.07. Which indicates potential “sharp” dollars on the Flyers. With both teams being so similar and Colorado having the more injured team. It’s hard not to like the underdog in this spot. With that being sadi we are siding with the Flyers tonight. Best of Luck!!!

Edmonton has the second worst power play in the league at 12.0%. Edmonton has the worst defence in the league allowing 3.5 goals per game.
I’m just going to come out and say it. We’re taking the Oilers to pull off a big upset tonight. Crazy? Maybe, but everyone would agree that the Kings are not the same team on the road as they are at home. Also, the Kings played less than 24 hours ago against the Flames losing 2-1. So the Oilers should have the fresher bodies in this game. Also, when looking at the betting percentages we found something interesting. 72% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Kings tonight and probably for good reason. However, we have seen the Oilers line move from 2.58 to 2.53. That should not even be possible. This indicates a good support of “sharp” dollars on the Oilers tonight. It could be because of the back-to-back games the Kings have to play . Whatever the case we won’t miss out on the fun. Best of Luck!!!

Both these teams lately have been a mess. However, the reasons for both are different at the current moment. The Penguins might be the most ill team in all of sports right now. The Penguins have 14 players on the inactive list. Some players such as Steve Downie, Thomas Greiss, Paul Martin, and Kris Letang are listed as Day-to-Day. The Penguins may be favored but they’re currently not worthy of such a big number. The Devils on the other had have just been out of sync. After firing Peter DeBoer before the break they’ve decided to use a trio of coaches instead. Even with the 3-1 loss a couple of nights ago against the Rangers they looked to have some real fire to them. I believe tonight is a great spot for them as a HOME dog. Look for the Devils to take out some frustration on a very ill Penguins team. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s have a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Carolina is 2-8 SU in its last 10 games and 1-4 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Carolina is 1-8 SU in its last 9 games when playing Tampa Bay. Carolina is the second lowest scoring team in the league at 2.1 goals per game.

Tampa Bay is the second highest scoring team in the league at 3.3 goals per game. Also, Tampa Bay allows the third least shots against in the league at 27.6 per game.
Look, here is the deal for tonight’s game. Due to the recent break every team has a chance to reset itself. Also, every person wagering on these games has a chance to abuse the lines. Is Tampa Bay really worth the price they currently hold? 84% of all Off-Shore bettors have already bet on Tampa Bay tonight. However, look at Carolina’s line it has moved from 3.08 to 3.05 or even lower at other sites. Even those making the lines understand that Carolina has serious value tonight. Did you know that both teams are allowing 2.7 goals a game? The only difference between the two teams is that Tampa Bay scores one more goal a game then Carolina does. However, both teams are 2-3 their last five. We believe that the game will be close throughout and the Hurricanes still a win late. Best of Luck!!!
